holidays

Heather said: "The holidays are a hard time to stay on any kind of diet. The only advice I'd give is to plan ahead. Enjoy yourself, but don't go overboard and of course, be sure to stay consistent with your exercise efforts.. you'll do fine!"

I have survived Thanksgiving at my mother's house for the last 6 years or so with minimal damage, which isn't easy to do when my mom makes every dish with a load of butter and cream. But here is my strategy: I fill probably about half of my plate with tossed salad (luckily, my mom always makes a good, healthy salad for Thanksgiving)...I put a little lowfat dressing on it and then I use the rest of my plate for turkey and a SMALL amount of sides. I usually fill about a quarter of the plate with turkey (I always take the skin off and I usually eat white meat) and then I take a very small amount of my absolute favorite sides: mashed potatoes (my mom makes them with mayo and they're AWESOME!) and green bean casserole. If I'm still hungry after that, I take more salad. For dessert, I usually have a cup of decaf coffee with cream and sugar (since I HATE pumpkin pie, the coffee tastes kind of like dessert for me). So that's what I always do...it usually works pretty well."

Tomorrow will be the day... I am so nervous!!! I have been trying SOO hard & I really put everything I have into eating right & excersizing. I don't want to be let down!! I'm also nervous because with Thanksgiving less than 3 weeks away, I don't want to go to dinner and ruin everything I have started. How do I stay away from all those calories? I guess its just portion control.... Any input guys? Thanks for your support!!"
